SEATTLE

At the moment, Seattle hosts 8 of the Fortune 500 companies, chosen for their gross revenues: Costco, Microsoft, Amazon, Paccar, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Expeditors International of Washington, and Weyerhaeuser. The family median income in Seattle is $93,000, compared to only $65,000 in the US.

In recent years has been increasing prices of properties in Seattle. This trend is likely to continue, at least in the next few years because of the expected growth in job opportunities. That means now, and sooner rather than later, is the time for Seattle real estate investments as prices tomorrow will already be higher.

ANOTHER CHARACTERISTIC of the real estate market in Seattle is the low inventory. As more and more people are moving into the city following the always emerging new employment opportunities, any newly listed property is almost immediately bought. So, once again, hurry up with your Seattle real estate investing decision. Options will be even more limited in the upcoming years because of the scarce land left for building in the city.
